WITH the summer of sport in full swing, shops are stocking their shelves with merch that has moved away from the Brat Girl Summer of 2024 to a Pit Girl Summer of 2025.
Yes, it’s not Wimbledon or the races we’re getting glammed up for this year, it’s the F1!
One shopper took to TikTok to show off the M&S’s range of graphic tees, vests, jumpers and a mini skirt, all with the iconic orange McLaren branding – but you won’t find it on the womenswear floor. This stuff is being snapped up from the kids floor.
M&S kids size range for this collection is 6-16yrs, ideal for petite girls or those who prefer a tighter fit.
While this range was made for children, she tried on the age 13-14 selection, styling these as crop tops.
The new releases have been branded with ‘born to race’ and ‘Forever forward’ logos and promise M&S’s consistently high quality.
The purse-friendly range is available online and in store and the prices go from £10 to £22.
And it can be a dream solution for any motorsport fans on their way to Silverstone Grand Prix on the first weekend of July as F1 merch often comes with a high price tag.
On her @montobe1 Tiktok – which raked up over 119,000 views, the beauty and fashion influencer said: “Sorry but £10 for a McLaren top?! Straight in my basket.”
And fashion fans are keen to get their hands on it.
One commented: “The coolest range.”
A second wrote: “I need that top.”
“Need it all” said a third.
It’s not only the M&S fashion buy that shoppers are loving, F1 girls have also discovered Asda’s best racing accessory.
Asda have Formula one themed air fresheners for under a fiver.
A social media F1 fanatic said that: ”I might be driving a small car, but it’s mighty now.”
The video now has over one million views and 40,000 likes.
Halfords stock the same two items for £4.99.
The scent “blends warm woods and leather with notes of lemon verbena and patchouli to create a rich, dynamic car fragrance that lasts lap after lap”, described on Halford’s website.
One commented “I ran to Asda and secured them!”
While others criticised the TikToker for promoting RedBull, saying “it ruins it that its Redbull.”
